Stream.CanWrite Property
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
For an example of creating a file and writing text to a file, see Writing Text to a File. For an example of reading text from a file, see Reading Text from a File. For an example of reading from and writing to a binary file, see Reading and Writing to a Newly Created Data File.
If a class derived from Stream does not support writing, a call to Write, BeginWrite, or WriteByte throws a NotSupportedException.
If the stream is closed, this property returns false.
The following is an example of using the CanWrite property.
import System.*;
import System.IO.*;
class TestRW
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
FileStream fs = new FileStream("MyFile.txt",
FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write);
if (fs.get_CanRead() && fs.get_CanWrite()) {
Console.WriteLine(
"MyFile.txt can be both written to and read from.");
}
else {
if (fs.get_CanWrite()) {
Console.WriteLine("MyFile.txt is writable.");
}
}
} //main
} //TestRW
//This code outputs "MyFile.txt is writable."
//To get the output message "MyFile.txt can be both written to and read from.",
//change the FileAccess parameter to ReadWrite in the FileStream constructor.
